New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know . Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf.

If I absolutely had to choose, I would say The Districts. We actually share...

New single "City By The Sea", is just enough to keep fans from getting restless, while he tours with Carsie Blanton along the West Coast. Hopefully there will be some local dates soon, as 2017 seems so far off right now. City by the Sea by Chris Kasper
